A brave morning
Thoughts flap their wings and fly
And I can still taste
Defeat on my lips
Bright tide, fish fly
I have not yet arrived
How can I not admit
I need to know you
Cause I just want to be
Something more than the mud in your eyes
I want to be the clay in your hands
Hey sorrow where are you
Tomorrow just won't be the same
Without you here
I'll wish for shoulders bold and broad to bear
And strength to hold my head above them
Cause I just want to be
Something more than the mud in your eyes
I want to be the clay in your hands
Cause Gloria is silent
And glory is a silent thing
"Cause I just want to be Something more than the mud in your eyes I want to be the clay in your hands."
This is one of the MOST brilliantly beautiful versus in a song that I've ever heard.
This song really makes me cry, and I mean that. It's like something I always wanted to say to a girl and never had the chance to, cause we don't really live in a movie... sigh
beautiful..
hmm im really starting to like this band .............. wooooooooooooooop
When it comes to the song being about God or not, this is what I have to say:
I don't believe this song is about God, however the phrase "mud in your eyes" IS Biblical; Jesus shoves mud into a blind man's eyes, and when he rinses it away, he can see.
And the Bible also references clay many times, and for humans to be molded by the hands of God like clay.
Still, I don't think it is about God, but I really like those references, because it is like saying "I want to be more than a catalyst in improving your life, I want to BE your life. I want to be molded and changed and integrated into you."
That's what I got out of it.
this song gets to me every time "Cause I just want to be Something more than the mud in your eyes I want to be the clay in your hands" is the best line ever written
you know... cause it's mineral... i can see why you could think that, about the whole God thing. But something tells me that this song is not about God -- I really want to believe that this song could be describing the love a man has for a woman. I want to believe that it could be true and that beautiful.
i agree with a perfect sonnet. this is more about the love a man has for a woman and the beauty of pure love. sculpted from clay. it's so gorgeous. ....wow. amazing
anything by mineral is genius. this song is just amazing
This Song Is Perfect.
